Medicare Managed Care
Managing Medicare Managed Care pulls together relevant existing AHCA/NCAL managed care resources and a new Contract Assessment and Return on Investment tool to assist in evaluating the value of your current managed care contracts.
Medicare Advantage (MA) is the managed care program within Medicare. Medicare Advantage provides beneficiaries with the option to receive their Medicare benefits through private health plans. MA continues to grow rapidly and has doubled over the past decade to over 26 million people in 2021, which is 42% of all Medicare beneficiaries (see below). This growth is expected to continue as more and more individuals age 65+ are opting to have their care be managed by a private health plan and are attracted by the additional benefits that are offered through an MA plan. HMOs continue to account for the majority (62%) of all plans offered in 2021.
